A big reason why waxing before storage is suggested is to leave a coat of wax on the edges. That protects them from humidity, etc. and the pitting that comes from rust. You may want to have a look at your edges.

how can i tell if they're not up to standards? considering i know absolutely nothing about that stuff, i'd feel better just taking it to some guy/girl who does. unless it's pretty straight forward to notice, as well as fix.

i will try to learn the whole DYI for waxing and sharpening edges or w/e it is you do eventually though.

LOL! that shit made me laugh.

but i live in an apartment complex with store houses located next to the staircase top, so no basement with stairs ;p
